Title: Apparatus for Applying Stoppers to Bottles.
Inventor: COALE HARVEY
Filed: 1904-04-22
Granted: 1905-04-20
Abstract: 9272. Coale, H., and Greensfelder, L. S. April 22. Capsuling and sealing vessels; stoppering. - In order to expand bottle seals into locking engagement with the neck, they are forced outwards against the neck from inside by jaws 8, Fig. 1, which consist of several pieces capable of sliding radially in grooves in a plate 7 held in the bottom of a cylindrical casing 1, and are normally pressed inwards towards the centre by a spring 10. The external contour of the depending parts of the jaws correspondswith the internal contour of the bottle neck. A ring 5 is screwed on to the bottom of the cylinder. The jaws are expanded by pressing down a plunger 15, which has a pointed lower end into a conical recess formed by inclined inner edges 12 of the jaws. A sleeve 17 is screwed to the plunger, and a sliding sleeve 19 is made to abut against a nut on the upper end of the plunger by means of a separating-spring 20. A hand-lever 22 is depressed on to the free end of a subsidiary lever 26, which causes the plunger 15 to be driven downwards through the medium of the spring 20. The pointed end of the plunger thereby separates the jaws, expanding the bottle seal against the inside of the neck. When the lever 22 is lifted, a spring 30, which rests at its lower end on a partition 6, raises the plunger to its inoperative position. An adjustable stop 33 slides on the lever 22, and is fixed by a screw 35 to the lever 22, so as to contact with a projection 31 on the lever 26. The apparatus may be connected to a support by arms 2, or have a vice made integral with the cylinder, by which it may be clamped in position.
